Sydney Levinson I love that I discovered it through Seb Chan via Gilles Peterson ... that is the joy of Bandcamp !

Simon Stacey This is why I love the music I love. There are always significant gems like this to find. I miss digging the London crates but then you find this regardless. Incredible music.

JoeH What an important task you undertake reissuing such seminal recordings AND with the ethicality of benefiting performers and protecting their moral and artistic (and financial) rights. Thanks guys/gals and look forward to your future releases.

mrcool What a fantastic album. Probably more for a spiritual and eclectic listener. This took me a few listens, however, Jeanne Lee grew on me. A very missed and talented artist.

Highly recommended 👌🏽 Favorite track: Jamaica.

***( to let you know what's happening with the record. We were hoping to have sent it out by now, as the pressing plant had promised it would be delivered last week. Unfortunately, on chasing them, it seems it's going to be another month. We're hesitant to give you a solid release date for the vinyl, because we've been bumped once and who knows if it will happen again. This is the situation currently faced by many small labels.
We know this is a frustrating situation, for us - and more importantly - for you, and we're sorry. All we can do is be open, and keep you informed. Everything else is here waiting to go out - we just need the vinyl.
Thank you again for all the support you've shown this great record. We can't wait to get it back out into the world.) **

about

Jeanne Lee (1939-2000) was an African-American vocalist, poet, composer, improvisor, activist and educator. In her 40 year career she performed with Archie Shep, Marion Brown, Gunter Hampel, Frank Lowe, William Parker, Andrew Cyrille, Anthony Braxton, Ran Blake, Billy Bang, Cecil Taylor, John Cage, Rashsaan Roland Kirk, Pauline Oliveros, Reggie Workman, and many others.

"jazz is a music that combines so many opposites...you have to fined that balance, then you have a guideline between freedom and discipline, between rhythm and melody, between body and spirit, between mind and instinct" (Jeanne Lee)

This is the first official reissue of "Conspiracy" since its limited release in 1975, it was her first record under her own name as a solo artist. It is a true lost gem, with a unique and beautiful sound. Musician Elaine Mitchener describes "Conspiracy" as "one of greatest free-form albums of the1970s".

"i feel the music like a dance, I think it's an important part of the music, it has to be felt like a dance"
(Jeanne Lee)
